Description

Running flume with avrosource, file channel, avro sink

Generated a reasonably high load where flume is receiving avro events via the avro source.
Now, send a kill <flume pid>. Flume does not die.

Doing the same, after using iptables to block the port on the running flume process ensures that the flume process does die gracefully on sending a TERM signal
